Rick Ross Hints Mastermind Album Will Have A Soulful Vibe

Rick Ross is currently putting together his sixth solo album, and the Maybach Music Group Boss revealed to MTV News that his Mastermind LP will definitely feature some soulful tracks.

“I love making those kind of records, those ‘Cigar Music’ records, those ‘Amsterdam’ records, and that was most definitely the energy,” said Ross.

The Miami rapper is referring to the Bink! produced bonus track on his third album Deeper Than Rap and the song from 2012's God Forgives, I Don’t produced by Cardiak.

All of Ross’ albums have included songs that harken back to the music of the 1970's. Port of Miami’s “Pots and Pans,” Trilla’s “Maybach Music,” and Teflon Don‘s “Tears of Joy” show Ross’ love for that soulful sound.

While the Curtis Mayfield-inspired vibe seems to be the direction the new album is taking, Ross confesses he is still leaving his options open to explore other lanes as well.
